Life, for one stu- dent, is com- plex, but trying to capture the lives of 850 students with diverse personalities is very difficult. In-school activities centered around the media center with people standing at bookcases and sitting at tables socializing. After-school activities cen- tered mainly around the gym, with sports practices and games. However, other places were filled with people during cer- tain seasons, including the football and baseball fields, track, tennis courts, and band room to name a few. For those in academic after-school activities, the li- brary and certain classrooms were the daily scenes. One main area of non-school involve- ment for students were churches (youth group activities not to mention worship services.) Other extra-curricular activi- ties were a variety of paying and volun- teer jobs, J.A., swim clubs, and artistic and musical groups.

GUIDED BY THE STARS Fads became more diverse than ever this year. Teachers weren't shocked quite as easily as they used to be. From mini- skirts to neon makeup, girls in Hornet country adopted many new styles. Believe it or not, many guys joined the fashion scene this year. Chams de Bar- on and lots of leather was the name of the game. MTV’s influ- ence was seen in the halls daily. Cyndi Lauper’s dyed hair and wild makeup, Madonna’s ‘junky but sultry” look, Mi- chael Jackson’s immortal leath- er jacket, even Bruce Spring- steen’s very casual look (un- derstatement of the year) made its way to the wardrobes of the mighty Hornets. Many people dressed to match the style of music that they listened to. Breakdancers, who do their maxin’ and relaxin’ to the beat of groups such as Run D.M.C. and Whodini were usually seen wearing their windbreak- ers (Adidas, no doubt) and hi- tops. Madonna fans took on the “messy but sexy” look. Prince and the Revolution’s die-hards were infatuated with color (purple) and texture (lace). Then, of course, there were some people who refused to be- come victims to the ever- changing fads. They preferred to stick with their trusty old hiking boots and blue jeans. Could it be that they listened to Bruce Springsteen? Shannon Miller shares the last dance while wearing the latest style of pants. Chris Payne and James Goodwin dis- play the art of breakdancing. On the American Music Awards pro- gram, Prince won three awards, and also performed the title song from his movie Purple Rain.
